Many of the services that would be used are already LDAP aware. How<br>
about adopting FDS<br>
( <a href="http://directory.fedoraproject.org" target="_blank">http://directory.fedoraproject.org</a> ) for the backend? The nice thing<br>
about that is you can then use the command line tools, the web gui, or<br>
a full blown "fat" client to twiddle objects in the directory.</blockquote><div><br>This breaks a design goal actually. If you check out the Bitfrost pages (start at: <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Bitfrost">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Bitfrost</a>) you'll see that centralized stuff is pretty discouraged in the spec, and that would cover the LDAP idea I think. Additionally LDAP is flaky in a sporadically connected environment. I don't think putting an LDAP server on the XS is a good idea, to be honest.<br>
